Harmony

I wrote this song two days ago after watching a documentary on Peak Oil. I’ve been making concerted efforts toward living sustainably for a nearly a decade, and each time I accomplish one goal, ten more emerge.

Maybe Harmony is more important than I thought. Music is starting to parallel life more and more…

This is just a rough sketch of the song to preview the vocals - the piano is just a guide track. There are four sets of stereo back vox in flac, the lead in flac and a lead double in flac, as well as the piano.

Key of A (piano part), 6/8 time

Lyrics:

On the shoreline
After sunset
Watching seabirds fly
Feet in the sand
With my head in my hands
Is luxury pushing us over

Harmony
Nature’s great sanctuary
Harmony
For every living thing

How long, how long
How long before it’s gone
How long, how long
Will anyone hear this song

Only faking
With green-washing
Can we be the change
And take just what we need
Much less than it seems
Is gluttony pushing us over

Harmony
Earth needs real vulnerary
Harmony
For every living thing

How long, how long
How long before it’s gone
How long, how long
Will anyone hear this song

And make a change
That is real
Make a change
We can feel
Make a change
That is real
Make a change

For harmony
Give me harmony
We need harmony
Give me harmony
We need harmony
For every living thing

How long, how long
How long before it’s gone
How long, how long
Will anyone hear this song

How long, how long
How long before it’s gone
How long, how long
Will anyone hear this song

And make a change
That is real
Make a change
We can feel
Make a change
That is real
Make a change
